Project KV's Blue Archive Scandal Leads to \"Project VK\" Successor Being Born

A Fan-Made Game Rises from the Ashes of Project KV's Cancellation

Studio Vikundi Unveils Project VK

Following the abrupt cancellation of Project KV on September 8th, a dedicated group of fans has launched Project VK, a community-driven, non-profit game. Studio Vikundi announced the project on Twitter (X) the same day Project KV was shut down.

Their statement emphasized their commitment to the project, stating, "While inspired by that project, our development team remains dedicated and will continue work without interruption. Studio Vikundi strives to exceed your expectations."

A subsequent post clarified, "Our project is a non-profit indie game created by passionate individuals. It's unrelated to Blue Archive or Project KV. Born from the disappointment of Project KV's unprofessional conduct, we promise a different approach. Project VK is entirely original and respects all existing copyrights."

Project KV's cancellation stemmed from significant online criticism regarding its close resemblance to Blue Archive, a game some of its developers worked on at Nexon Games. Accusations of plagiarism encompassed the game's art style, music, and core concept: a Japanese-style city inhabited by female students wielding weapons.

Just one week after its second teaser, Dynamis One announced Project KV's cancellation on Twitter (X), apologizing to fans for the controversy. For a comprehensive overview of Project KV's cancellation and the resulting backlash, please refer to our related article.
